Hi everyone! My name is Cottnie. I'm from the Philippines. I'd been wanting to travel out of country ever since I got my first paycheck on my first job. I chose Thailand to be my first because of the great reviews I read online.
I stayed in Thailand for 5 days. I just got back home yesterday. And I can say that I enjoyed every single day.
Michael is an awesome host. He is nice and accommodating! You can always reach out to him when you need something. Also, very proactive in offering help. On my first day in Bangkok, he drove me to a nearby hotel and had lunch together. Oh, we were with Emmanuel, his adorable kid! (I already miss him. He's so cute when he laughs.)
The condo unit is very nice, clean and huge if you're traveling alone. As soon as you enter the door, you'd be delighted. It has a nice bathroom. I enjoyed having a warm shower after a long day of walking in checking the temples. Also, the unit has a humongous and comfy bed that can fit 3 persons, very good air conditioning, big sofa, pretty nice kitchen, and of course very reliable wifi connection. There's also a nice long pool and gym! It's definitely better than a hotel.
Getting to the place, I took Airport Link (sky train) from Suvarnabhumi Airport and got off Makkasan station. Walk about 6 minutes going to the MRT station (just follow the directions and you won't get lost) and get a ticket going to Lat Phrao station. From there, you can walk (approximately 15 minutes), take a motorbike or a cab for 40 Baht.
To wrap it all up, my stay in Thailand was great! I would love to go back, maybe in May! Thank you, Michael!! 🙂
